Good morning everyone. 68 and raining out there. Storms moved through our area around 5 this morning; will clear off during the day and leave us with a decent weekend - some chance of rain, but mostly nice. Next week: in the 90s again.
Happy Labor Day Weekend to all!
Chessie, Wheeler, Patrick, Chad, Willie, Louis, Tom, Mike, Sherrel, and anyone I may have inadvertently missed - thanks for all your likes and comments, even suggestions, about the farm photos I posted yesterday (and a few from previous days). I appreciate knowing how these scenes look to everyone.
Really nothing to report from the train room or the model-building workbench. Spent yesterday evening hanging out with our son and didn't get home until around 8. Normally plenty of time for woodworking and train-running, but I was tired for some reason (no comments about old age, please )
Here's today's photo from the layout: it's the neighboring farm/ranch to the one I posted yesterday. That one is a cattle ranch, this one is horses. Same problem the other one has - the fence is sitting on the layout instead of having holes for the fenceposts to sit down in. Same for most of the trees. I suppose I could paint the bases of the fenceposts and trees green and then it would look like they're in the ground?! Anyway, pretty satisfied with the overall look. The barn is already a scene of some activity, but I want to add a couple more folks. The farmhouse in the background has a few folks around but it needs a bigger family, so I'll work on that in the future. Tracks run right behind the farm - you can see the tracks to the left of the scene. Got to remember to put some trains in the photos!!!
So those are two farms on the layout. There is another farm near the other town, and that's the one I'm building the barn for. I need to get some time this weekend at the workbench and get that barn glued together. Will post on that next week.
Have a good day and a nice weekend everyone.
